Super siblings secured second consecutive ascension to second-level play representing Hitchcock High School.
The District 24-6A tournament at Moody Gardens last week might well have been better suited for a Fourth of July scheduling, given the fireworks on display over two days at a venue known to be both welcoming and devilish, depending on prevailing winds.
The Wildcats of Clear Creek devoured the field in a District 24-6A preview girls golf tournament at Moody Gardens Golf Course.
Dirty Socks. 1947 quarters. Three tees — all of a certain length and color. Two eggs over medium for breakfast, and a smooth rock in the right pocket.
Curiosity collided with coincidence after my recent column that included some information on caddies and caddying.
Golfers love their pets. I think that in most households, the arrival of a new pet comes with a mixture of excitement and anxiety.
Trinity Le’s first-round lead and second round 74 earned medalist honors and anchored the Wildcats of Clear Creek to victory in the A&M Consolidated Championship last weekend.
Oscar night has come and gone, and I hope all your choices were winners. One thing is certain: those who walked the red carpet signed lots of autographs and posed for many “selfies.” This is a golf column, so I won’t discuss the awards; but I do want to talk about autographs and selfies.
The rain began to fall just as we started the Sunday round on an already soggy course. (Aren’t they all right now, excepting the Galveston Country Club and Moody Gardens?)
Clay Walker might not hit the golf ball as far as did former Rice University quarterback and NFL star King Hill; he does not hit a laser like iron the way Junior Seau used to do; but then, I never heard either of them sing. We should all remember to give thanks for those guys and others, like Rudy T and Larry Dierker. If I list any more, I could be accused of name-dropping.
For the first time in his career, Rickie Fowler won a PGA tournament (Phoenix) when leading after 54 holes. He overcame adverse weather, a double bogey and a truly crazy triple bogey; he lost the lead, fell behind and rebounded. It was his day.
In what well may have been the first skirmish in a battle for the District 24-6A title, and the first step on the ladder to a state championship, local heavyweights Clear Creek, Clear Falls and Clear Springs squared off last week in the Clear Springs Invitational tournament.
I don’t usually write on Saturday, but this one is different. First, although there is bright sunshine out, the overnight rain (sick of it) has returned my home course to mush; it should in my opinion be closed.
The Thursday cash game at Moody Gardens Golf Course is again up and running, and Mark Ripley’s one-under par 71 (gross) swung him into the winner’s circle.
It is the year that decades from now will be remembered as a landmark year for significant changes in the official rules of golf; and for the marriage of professional golf and professional gambling. Yet, the gambling game most likely to still be played wherever golfers are found, is the Nass…
All in, golf in 2019 still will be the challenging, baffling, frustrating and difficult game it’s always been. Oh, and the most wonderful game of all.
Danny Reegan and Pete Nanos looked on as John Butler helped himself to an early Christmas present, smacking a sand wedge 93 yards and into the bottom of the cup at the ninth hole at Moody Gardens golf course a couple of weeks ago. It was the second hole in one for the Galveston County reside…
Fear not, for Santa’s golfing elf is here with gift ideas sure to please, amuse and possibly empty your wallet.
We can look to other sports for a glimpse at what the future of gambling might hold for golf.
I once played golf with the president at the Galveston Country Club. Not the president of the country club; the president of the United States. Almost.
